Advanced Listening practice: "Rosemary & Thyme" (British Television Series, 2003)

"Розмари и Тайм" - очаровательный британский детективный сериал для женской аудитории. Но если вы - ландшафтный дизайнер, то этот сериал и для вас. Великолепные сады, парки, а также шикарные английские постройки Викторианской эпохи: имения, замки, церкви... И среди всей этой сказочной красоты разворачивается череда событий, в центре которых две милые англичанки - любители флоры и детективных расследований. 
"Rosemary & Thyme" стоит посмотреть и из-за чудесного британского акцента. Это не просто очередная практика аудирования - это эстетическое наслаждение. So, enjoy! 


"And No Birds Sing" 
Rosemary Boxer, an expert botanist, is hired by an old friend to investigate why trees in the grounds of their home are becoming diseased. While at the hotel she is staying at, Rosemary befriends Laura Thyme, who willingly agrees to help Rosemary solve her botany problem, but plants soon are the least of their concern when a murder occurs...




"Arabica and the Early Spider" 
Rosemary and Laura find themselves enlisted by an ageing rock star, Nev Connolly, who wishes for the grounds of his newly-bought mansion, Compton Lacey, to be renovated. Shortly after they start work, disaster strikes when the singer is found dead, and the mystery is added to by the emergence of a skeleton of a horse near to the grounds...


"The Language of Flowers" 
The two gardeners travelling to a mansion-turned-health spa, owned by the Caldecott family, to help restore a grand water cascade with the spa's grounds. Stumped by the long-decayed mechanics of the feature, Rosemary and Laura soon realise that all is not well when a member of the Caldecotts is murdered and suspect the motive has family ties to it...


"Sweet Angelica" 
While trying to uncover the source of a disease that has crept up in the lawn of a special language college, Rosemary and Laura are shocked when they find the body of one of the college's student at the side of the road. Soon another student turns up dead on the college grounds, and a ceremonial knife is found in her possession...


"A Simple Plot" 
Rosemary introduces Laura to a close friend - a blind professor, who seeks help on his allotment plot. Flowers are dying at random and suspicion is directed at the nearby building site as the cause. Shortly after a meeting with other plot owners in the allotments, the professor dies in what appears to be an accident, until the gardeners discover that someone cleverly used his means of getting around to kill him...


"The Tree of Death" 
While restoring a churchyard for an upcoming fayre for a local vicar, whom Rosemary and Laura befriend, the pair are shocked to come across the body of a local man next to an ancient yew tree where they are working. The suspects are many for the man's murder, in which he was impaled by an arrow, leaving the gardners no choice but to save the day...


A cozy mystery series set in beautiful English and European gardens, "Rosemary & Thyme" features two women brought together by a sudden death who discover their shared love of the soil. Being gardeners means that they overhear secrets and dig up clues which lead them to handle floral problems, solve crimes and capture criminals.
